Officially approved today!!

My latest admission pictures...

Yes, basic approval. I found out my background was taking away from the details of the costume. I need to retake with a solid background of a contrasting color.

These were my submission pictures. They were kicked back for not following the directions for submission - I need to show the costume better. Anyone have any ideas as to what I need to change in the pictures?

Got them from a board member named Evilboy

Funny you say that, I just added the plastic hooks. I like it much better, but they're digging into my sides when my arms are down.

Sorry bud, i didn't see this. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004RCLM8Q/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 They are very comfortable.

I tried the CA glue last night. I used Zap-A-Gap. It was much easier and faster than sewing (plus it feels like it's going to hold better). Only mishap was when I glued my thumb to my forefinger and couldn't get them apart for about 30 minutes.

Good idea. I honestly started getting bit discouraged as I just can't seem to get the pictures just right for submission. It's always one thing or another. Then I took it to a TGI Friday's to surprise a friend I knew was eating there - and the look on the faces of kids throughout the restaurant made it all seem worthwhile.

Just an update... I took the suit for a test run. The straps that came with the suit just weren't doing the job. I bought some better webbing and created my own straps. Tried using the adhesive veclro - but it didn't stick to the webbing for very long. Tried sewing the velcro on, but the adhesive made it impossible. I'll go out this week and buy some non adhesive velcro. Then I should be ready to take the submission pictures - I know, I know - use snaps. My advisor is suggesting velcro - I'll probably switch to the snaps at some point, but I really want approval first.

I did pop it on. Do the sides all get trimmed off?

Sorry for the seemingly endless picture posts - but everytime I post, someone gives me some great feedback. I've sent the following to my advisor. I'm actually awaiting his response to see if they're submittal worthy. (I do just now see the under armor logo on the right side of my pants).

Yes, that's it. I was confused. Belt is corrected.

Comments from my advisor... 1. Lower cod and or raise thighs to reduce the gap in the crotch 2. Reduce the return on the lower back so the back piece sits better 3. Lower the stomach by adjusting the straps that attach to the back Comments from whitearmor 1. switch and rotate forearms 2. trim the belt corners Getting closer guys - thanks to all for your help.
